"I came to meet you under Scarlett’s commission, and I’ve said everything that needed to be said."

"In three days, the ’space channel’ between the Divine Ruin Lands and the heavenly realms will close, so I must return quickly... if I’m late, I’ll have to wait a thousand years to go back."

Ernest Summer looked at Wyatt Barnes and said.

"A thousand years from now, when the ’space channel’ between the Divine Ruin Lands and the heavenly realms opens again, I hope to see you in the Divine Ruin Lands... by then, I hope you possess the strength that Scarlett’s father can recognize."

After saying that, Ernest Summer casually raised his hand, tearing open another space crack in the cosmos, preparing to leave.

"Uncle!"

Seeing Ernest Summer eager to depart, Wyatt Barnes recalled something very important.

"In the heavenly realms, one of the seven infamous lands, the ’Asura Hell’... once a Heavenly Emperor enters it, is it really certain death with no chance of survival?"

Wyatt Barnes didn’t forget what Wilder Cloud had previously told him about this.

The senior Breezy Wind, who left him an inheritance, was forced into one of the seven infamous lands, the ’Asura Hell’, by Wilder Cloud.

"Asura Hell?"

Hearing Wyatt Barnes’s words, Ernest Summer’s expression became slightly serious, "I’ve been to that place once, but only dared to move around the periphery, not daring to venture deeper..."

"With the dangers of Asura Hell, only two or three Heavenly Emperors among the eighty-one in the heavenly realms would survive entering it."

Ernest Summer said.

Swoosh!

Upon getting confirmation from Ernest Summer, Wyatt Barnes’s expression changed dramatically, realizing Wilder Cloud hadn’t exaggerated.

There are eighty-one heavenly realms in total.

Correspondingly, there are eighty-one Heavenly Emperors.

Now, according to Ernest Summer, only two or three Heavenly Emperors from the heavenly realms can survive after entering the Asura Hell...

According to Wilder Cloud’s previous statement, senior Breezy Wind’s strength, looking through the heavenly realms, could only rank ’top twenty’, far from ranking among the top three.

"Senior Breezy Wind..."

Wyatt Barnes’s heart trembled.

At this moment, the last glimmer of hope deep in his heart shattered.

With hopes crushed, intense guilt arose deep within him, unable to calm for a long time...

"Uncle is now rushing back to the Divine Ruin Lands, with little time left, so he can’t help you much..."

At this time, Ernest Summer’s voice reached Wyatt Barnes’s ears again, gradually bringing him back to reality.

"Originally, taking you to the Divine Ruin Lands would benefit you more... but once you go there, and are discovered by my elder brother or that kid from the Cloud Family, it would mean certain death for you! Therefore, I can’t let you take this risk."

Looking at Wyatt Barnes, Ernest Summer continued, raising his hand to reveal two items, and handed them to Wyatt Barnes.

"This is all I can do to help you."

"In the future, when you ascend to the heavenly realms, don’t hurry to leave the ’Ascension Pool’, try to temper your ninety-nine Heavenly Veins inside... it will only benefit you."

"Kid, I look forward to meeting you in the Divine Ruin Lands... hope you don’t disappoint me, or Scarlett!"

After handing the two items to Wyatt Barnes, without waiting for him to come around, Ernest Summer quickly flashed away.

Soon after, the space crack he had just torn open also gradually closed.

Only when the space crack closed did Wyatt Barnes come to his senses, looking down at the two items Ernest Summer left for him...

These two items are a sword and a jade slip wrapped in mystical green light.

Meanwhile, the space crack in the cosmos, like a twisting python, gradually closed, returning the whole space to tranquility.

"Whew~~"

Standing not far from Wyatt Barnes, Lainey Don breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Just now, she accompanied Wyatt Barnes to Hell Gate, almost being killed by Wilder Cloud!

"Keer... wait for me!!"

Wyatt Barnes did not closely examine the two items in his hands. He looked up at the sky, fists clenched, and let out a roar, shaking the cosmos, as if trying to vent the pent-up frustrations in his chest.

Wyatt Barnes’s sudden roar also startled Lainey Don.

Lainey Don came to her senses, looked at Wyatt Barnes, and said, "Could you... talk to me about you and your wife?"

Now, Lainey Don understood that Wyatt Barnes already had a wife, and even a child.

Moreover, his wife was no ordinary person.

When Wyatt Barnes briefly told Lainey Don about him and his wife, Keer, she couldn’t help but sigh, then comforted:

"Don’t worry, you will definitely reunite with your wife..."

"Didn’t senior Ernest Summer just say? You have a thousand years left!"

"In this lifetime, you haven’t even cultivated for a hundred years... I believe that given a thousand more years, you’ll surely possess the strength that your father-in-law acknowledges."

Lainey Don comforted.

However, although she spoke comforting words, she didn’t truly believe it.

Of course, it’s not that she didn’t think Wyatt Barnes could, after a thousand years, possess the strength recognized by his father-in-law...

But she felt that for Wyatt Barnes to possess such power a millennium from now would be extremely difficult.

Even though Wyatt Barnes, not yet a hundred years old, already possesses considerable strength.

However, no matter how impressive Wyatt Barnes’s strength is, it can only be compared to a ’Golden Immortal’ of the heavenly realms.

Although Ernest Summer did not say to what extent Wyatt Barnes’s cultivation must reach to gain his father-in-law’s recognition,

in her opinion, it would at least have to surpass the group of Heavenly Emperors from the heavenly realms, wouldn’t it?

After all, just a servant from the Cloud Family of the Divine Ruin Lands was stronger than most Heavenly Emperors!

In a thousand years, even with Wyatt Barnes’s current ’foundation,’ it’s as hard as ascending to heaven to have strength surpassing the Heavenly Emperors of the heavenly realms!

"Mm."

Even though Wyatt knew Lainey Don was comforting him, he still nodded heavily.

Now, he had no path of return!

A thousand years from now, whether he possesses the strength recognized by his father-in-law or not, he must make a trip to the Divine Ruin Lands...

Even if he has to risk his life, he will not let his wife marry another man!

...

In the following days, Lainey Don quietly accompanied Wyatt Barnes, traveling with him back to Earth, where they spent a few days.

After decades away from Earth, the changes were beyond Wyatt Barnes’s wildest imagination.

However, due to the recent appearance of Wilder Cloud and Ernest Summer from the Divine Ruin Lands, Wyatt Barnes remained in low spirits.

So, after spending a few days on Earth, he took Lainey Don and left Earth.

They prepared once again to use the Outer Heaven Secret Realm to leave the Yanhuang Plane and return to the Holy Domain Plane.

...

Divine Ruin Lands.

After Wilder Cloud fled in embarrassment before Ernest Summer, he immediately returned to the Divine Ruin Lands, back to the Cloud Family.

"Young Master."

Upon seeing the Cloud Family’s eldest young master ’Rocky Cloud,’ Wilder Cloud barely managed a greeting before Rocky Cloud interrupted him with a smile:

"Wilder Cloud, since you’ve returned, I suppose Wyatt Barnes is dead."

"You handled this matter well."

Rocky Cloud nodded in satisfaction at Wilder Cloud.

He never considered that Wilder Cloud might fail.

Wilder Cloud’s strength, although not as great as his own, was enough to rival a few of the strongest among the eighty-one Heavenly Emperors of the heavenly realms...

With such strength, killing a young man from a mundane plane should be a simple task.

"Young Master, I... I failed."

Wilder Cloud bowed, head hung low, hesitant to speak.

Upon his admission, the atmosphere became instantly silent.

Wilder Cloud lifted his head, looking nervously at the frozen smile on Rocky Cloud’s face, not daring to breathe heavily.

"What happened?"

Finally, Rocky Cloud spoke, his tone calm, revealing neither satisfaction nor anger.

However, the calmer it was, the more Wilder Cloud’s heart trembled.

For he knew that his young master only displayed such a demeanor when his anger reached a certain point...

"Lord Ernest Summer intervened."

Confronted with Rocky Cloud’s inquiry, Wilder Cloud dared not delay, recounting the details, "At that time, I was about to kill Wyatt Barnes... But at the critical moment, Lord Ernest Summer appeared and saved Wyatt Barnes."

"Young Master, it was my incompetence."

By the end, Wilder Cloud lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake.

"Since Uncle Ernest showed up to protect that boy, you can’t be blamed for this..."

Rocky Cloud narrowed his eyes, a glint of cold light flickering, "But how did he appear in the mundane plane at just the right time to save that kid? Could it be he knew I would send someone to kill that kid?"

"I recall... only you and I knew of this matter."

Rocky Cloud spoke while looking at Wilder Cloud again.

He wasn’t suspecting Wilder Cloud, as he trusted Wilder Cloud, a long-term servant of the Cloud Family with absolute loyalty.

Moreover, even if Wilder Cloud were to betray him, it wouldn’t be over a kid from a mundane plane.

He just found it a bit too coincidental.

"Young Master... could it be that Miss Scarlett had Ernest Summer protect Wyatt Barnes?"

Wilder Cloud cautiously glanced at Rocky Cloud, revealing his speculation.

Hearing this, Rocky Cloud narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam briefly flickering, "Even if Ernest Summer wants to protect him, it would at most be until the ’spatial tunnel’ between the Divine Ruin Lands and the heavenly realms closes..."

"A thousand years later, when the spatial tunnel reopens... I will personally go to the heavenly realms and execute Wyatt Barnes!"
